it's not hyperbole to say that the only thing that's standing in between gangs completely taking over this country are a couple thousand police officers who are risking their lives every single day, fighting back against these dangs. here in port-au-prince, we go meet one of those officers on the front lines, part of a specialized unit fighting the gangs terrorizing this city. the officer meeting us indoors, covering his face for his own safety. he tells me the police are outgunned and outmanned.

clear contrast with his opponent donald trump. >> on his watch, companies sent american jobs overseas for cheaper labor and imported products. >> reporter: still, the president seeming to acknowledge that even though the economy is improving, many americans just aren't feeling it. >> wages are up more than prices. inflation is down dramatically. we have more to do, i get it, we have more to do, but no question our plan of delivering for the american people is working now. >> reporter: and tonight, david, the president also unveiling the strictest car emissions in history. this means by 2023 most new cars sold in america will likely be electric, but this is a politically loaded move. donald trump has claimed that electric vehicles will kill the american auto industry, but the biden administration says this is critical to combat climate change, and it puts america at the forefront of the electric vehicle industry. david? >> david: selina wang at the white house for us tonight, thank you. meantime tonight, president biden receiving a key endorsement from the united steelworkers tonight. the president winning union
